Abstract:

The Cape Hatteras Lighthouse is one of the nation's most well-known sea coast sentinels. An oral history project of Shelton-Roberts's records the history of people who called the lighthouse their home during the early days of the 20th century. There are over 1,200 direct descendants of the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse keepers, and their stories reveal much about life on this remote island.
